RE: H.R. No. 70
H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2001
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Water and Land Use, to which was referred H.R. No. 70 entitled:
"HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES TO NEGOTIATE WITH KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOLS, BISHOP MUSEUM, AND THE OFFICE OF HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS TO LEASE KALIHI VALLEY DISTRICT PARK FOR A NATIVE HAWAIIAN EDUCATION CENTER,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this resolution is to utilize the resources found in the Kalihi Valley District Park on Oahu by requesting the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) to negotiate with Kamehameha Schools, Bishop Museum, and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) to lease the District Park for a native Hawaiian education center at a dollar per year.
Bishop Museum and an individual testified in support of this measure. DLNR offered comments.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Replacing references to Kalihi Valley District Park with Kalihi Valley Nature Park which is a State Park Reserve;
(2) Changing the title to correctly read: "HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES TO NEGOTIATE WITH KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOLS, BISHOP MUSEUM, AND THE OFFICE OF HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS TO LEASE KALIHI VALLEY NATURE PARK FOR A NATIVE HAWAIIAN EDUCATION CENTER"; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of style and clarity.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water and Land Use that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 70, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs in the form attached hereto as H.R. No. 70, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water and Land Use,
